Issue - meetings

Further to Minute 357 (18 March 2003), received a report describing the process of selecting a partner to provide high level advice and training within the client side construction planning team, together with other changes to develop the Best Value procurement, programme and project management activities of client side staff.

Agreed:

1. The appointment of MACE plc as client planning team advisor.  MACE plc has been selected after a rigorous and transparent procurement exercise; and

2. That Councillor B Osborn be appointed to the Project Steering Board.  . The project board, as described in section 4 of the report, will ensure that the client partnering arrangement delivers agreed outputs and outcomes.
